Today's manufacturing enterprises rarely live in isolation. They need to be connected in order to create products from which a group of enterprises, called global-value-chain (GVC), can derive value. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA) are two different paradigms that address complex integration challenges. Enterprise service bus (ESB) allows for the implementation of both the SOA and the EDA concepts. This paper addresses the development of an enterprise service bus (ESB) to grant the operation of GVC. A proposed business-integrator-unit (BIU) is designed to be plugged in each enterprise system. The BIU contains a “business collaboration map configurator” that allows real time allocation of roles to members’ enterprises
